I once heard this. . .

[InChristAlone91]

When I was little bit younger, maybe 16 years old (Im 20 now) I overheard a conversation with two other guys i knew at the time. They were talking about the Bible and how the Government basically grabbed a bunch of made up non sense and put it together to create the Bible. They also said something that really caught my attention "They created it just to keep all humans controlled, that way alot of people dont get out of control" So ever since then this topic has stuck with me. Not that I believe its true but sometimes I just question it, which I know I shouldn't.

I also think to myself some things that i can't really explain lol so i just wont, which i wish i could though.

So anyway give me your thoughts on what you think about this topic =D

Have you been born again and baptized with Jesus' Holy Spirit? He is called the Spirit of Truth for a reason: He reveals the truth to you. Part of that revelation is that the God's word is true.

Don't trust what people say, people are fallen. The world is a fallen place. It will never represent Jesus properly, as the world wants to draw you away from Jesus.

It's kinda like this: Ever hear all about some kid in certain circles. Everyone hates this kid. They talk about him behind his back. They make fun of him in front of his face. They say all kinds of terrible things about this kid making him out to be someone awful. Then one day, you actually spend a little time with this kid. You find out all the awful stuff people said about him were all lies. The only reason they say those things about him is because he's meek and humble and not outrageous and aggressive like they are.

Getting to know Jesus is kinda like that. Except the circle of people is the world, and Jesus is so humble and loving He would save them if they just called upon Him.

You see, the world loves scapegoats. They want scapegoats because they want to blame everything on someone else. That keeps them focused on someone else's failings. If they looked to the Lamb of God, they would have to accept that they're the ones to blame. And then thank Jesus for washing away their filth and sins. But that would require humility and responsibility for their own shortcomings.
